1 Kretzschmar, SimonEnviromix_split_phase_applying_flameless_combustion_principles_to_pyrolysis_furnaces2011As the drive towards reduced NOx emissions accelerates, the need to promote synergy between all furnace components becomes paramount. One of the most exciting methods of reducing these emissions is through the application of the principles of flameless combustion. Through high rates of flue gas reci...
2 Venkateswaran, Prabhakar; Marshall, Andrew; Bahous, Edouard; Seitzman, J. Lieuwen, TimTurbulent flame speeds of high H2 mixtures2011This paper describes turbulent global consumption speed, ST,GC, measurements of H2/CO mixtures at atmospheric conditions. The turbulent flame properties of these mixtures are of strong practical interest due to the rising interest in expanding the role of coal-derived syngas fuels in the current ene...
3 American flame research committee (AFRC) international combustion symposium2011Burner retrofits in industrial boilers are an economical solution to achieving lower NOx levels with existing fired equipment. However, designing a next generation ultra-low NOx burner footprint that fits into an existing burner cutout continues to be an industry challenge in many applications. Buil...
4 Henneke, Mike; Matos, MiguelCFD analysis of a ground flare system: wind and fence effects on air supply behavior and thermal radiation2011Thermal radiation emitted from ground flare installations is a safety consideration • The fence material must be selected to tolerate the high heat fluxes • The fence has an influence on air supply to the burners and can cause air circulation patterns within the fenced area
5 Giovanardi, EnricoOpen Ground Flare systems - Hystorical review of a recent project from the concept to the commissioning, passing through R&D activities Presentation and Discussion of the Results of R&D activities as a basis for design and execution stage.2011The more and more restrictive environmental laws and regulation applied in most of the projects all over the world led in the last years to the need to increase on one hand smokeless performances of assisted flares, to guarantee smokeless combustion up to Ringelmann 0, and, on the other hand to inst...

7 Chen, Shirley; Erazo, Jaime A. Jr.; Hendrix, Bailey; Wendel, KirkUltra-low NOx burner arrangements in furnace revamps: utilization of CFD to prevent and mitigate adverse furnace flow patterns2011As NOx emission regulations continue to become more stringent, the need to retrofit existing furnaces with Ultra-low NOx burner technology will continue to rise. Ultra-low NOx emissions from process burners are typically achieved by combining staged combustion with internal flue gas recirculation. A...

11 Seebold, James G.Combustion efficiency of industrial flares revisited the current status of this multivariate, multiphysics, multichemistry morass and what to do about it2011Last year, with its focus on "Industrial Flaring," TOTeM361 was the first in the IFRF TOTeM series to tap into an area which has been explored in AFRC Symposia for many years.2 Taking place 30 September - 1 October at the Sheraton Maui immediately following the AFRC 2010 Pacific Rim Combustion Sympo...
12 Mueller, Gary R.; Agrawal, Harshit; Caico, Chris; Olivacce, RonaldCombustion of mixtures: A modified IFC approach2011While most studies on flares have been done with single hydrocarbon fuels or binary mixtures, the reality of most industrial flares is that they see different mixtures of many gases. Over the past 5 years the International Flare Consortium (IFC) has been conducting research on just this issue. In a ...
13 Lewis, Elliot-Sullivan; Hack, Richard; McDonell, VincentDevelopment of a modular supplemental burner for optimization of distributed generation/combined heat and power system efficiency2011Increased interest in distributed power generation has lead to increased interest in combined heating cooling and power (CCHP). One significant issue in implementing a CCHP is that electrical loads and heating or cooling loads are rarely synchronized. Duct burners are frequently used to provide addi...

16 Pohl, John; Gogolek, Peter E.G.; Seebold, J. G.; Schwartz, RobertStatistical correlation of flame properties with combustion and destruction efficiency2011-02-11This paper seeks to investigate the correlation of flame properties with flare combustion and destruction efficiency and statistically select the most accuracy correlation. First, the previous correlation will be reviewed. Then new correlations of flame properties with combustion and destruction wil...
17 Smith, Philip J.A technology for measuring combustion efficiency of industrial & field flares (integrating measurements and simulations)2011-08-12Flare research over the past decade has increasingly illustrated that there is likely no one simple operational parameter (or even a few parameters) that will characterize the combustion behavior of flare flames.i Simple correlations are unobtainable because of the complexity of the nonlinear mixing...

G.High fidelity modeling of flare combustion and emission detection2011-08-17The combustion of hydrocarbons by industrial flares emits greenhouse gases into the atmosphere along with trace amounts of ozone-forming highly-reactive volatile organic compounds and human carcinogens. Continuous and autonomous monitoring of flare emission is challenging due to low species concentr...
19 Daviault, Stephane G.; Matida, Edgar A.; Ramadan, Omar B.; Hughes, Patrick M.Investigation of the spray characteristics of a twin fluid atomizer using LSI and PDA2011-08-30The purpose of this paper is to fully characterize an industrial twin fluid swirl atomizer through the use of laser based measurement techniques. The atomizer used in this study was manufactured by Delavan and features three air swirl inlets onto the main fluid core located in a mixing chamber withi...
